A powerful protagonist with rare magic is what usually happens in fantasy. Not in The Silver Coin though. Mika Mathew’s first installment of the Oaths of Dante series takes the opposite approach to Greek mythology. Here you will find a protagonist without any magic, he’s also a mortal and that definitely doesn’t help when a war is brewing among magical beings. But determination surpasses your shortcomings, or so Dante learns in this excellent fantasy intended for middle-grade and young adults.
